At the end of Week 2, I have $50 left for groceries which means I’ve spent $77 so far this month on food. Here’s part of what I bought this week:
My purchases this week include:
- $6 for 3 dozen farm fresh eggs
- .87 cents for a box of baking soda (found out in the middle of making chocolate chip cookies that my baking soda had been used for a science experiment)
- $7 at Hyvee for 2 bags of Sun Chips and a bag of organic celery hearts (homemade stock is in my future this week)
- $1.99 for whipping cream {can’t have homemade pumpkin pie without whipped cream – even in the middle of an eat from the pantry challenge!}
- $24.32 at Aldi – my fav purchase at Aldi: 16 pounds of oranges for $3.96!
All told I spent $40.18 on groceries this week.
Other challenges for the week:
My van broke down and had to be repaired – something about an A/c relay draning my battery, a loose battery connection, and {by the way, when you try to jump start your vehicles, make sure you connect the jumper cables correctly. Otherwise, you end up with sparks coming out of the batteries and a fried electrical circuit…ahem…}
